iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The Importance of Being Earnest (2002). Somehow they managed to take the laugh out of some of the best jokes. Think it's all down to the directing, too. Witherspoon does a great Victorian upper class English accent. As it's a top play, it would be almost impossible to make it truly bad #FilmSky

Screenshot from the film of Rupert Everett playing Algernon Moncrieff, and Colin Firth playing Jack Worthing. They're in an ornate social club with candelabras and having a very serious-looking conversation. Both are wearing full evening dress.

The contents of my food waste bin were growing a lot of white fluffy mould. Before emptying it, I tried stroking the mould growth to see if it felt as soft as it looked. Turned out it's not fluffy at all, it's actually sticky like spiderweb.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Based on my own reporting on OpenAI's audited financials from 2025, it appears that Anthropic was a worse business (at least in that year), spending $2.75 make $1 versus OpenAI spending $2.60 to make $1. So many people told me this company was "more profitable"! www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-op...

OpenAl Lost $38.5 Billion In 2025
2025 — OpenAl Had $13.07 Billion In Revenue, $34 Billion In Costs and Expenses, and $20.92 Billion In Losses, with a net loss attributable to the company of $38.53 Billion
• Revenue: $13.07 billion
• Cost of Revenue: $7.5 billion
• Research and Development: $19.18 billion
• Sales and Marketing: $5.73 billion
• General and Administrative: $1.57 Billion
• Total Costs and Expenses: $34 billion
• Loss from Operations: $20.92 billion

The Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year, a threefold surge from 2024, accounting for more than half of its
$12.65 billion in total operating expenses.

My favourite bit of that story was the taxi the staff called for him turned up and the driver looked at Farage, said Nope, and fcked off. The police then had to use one of their vans to help him avoid the howling mob, ie some students waving placards and going “boo!”

For all we know at the moment, the 5 men arrested near RAF Fairford might have been on a stag night. But the wild claims by Trump and Rubio suggest that, if they'd been apprehended in the US, they would have been denied due process. I hope our government tells them to butt out of our justice system.

Stewart Lee has always been brilliant but his Nerve column really hits new heights. This should be required reading in schools - alongside ‘A Modest Proposal’. Although I guess, for balance, the poor teachers would have to find an equally good satire of the woke obsession with keeping people alive.

The Judge (2014). A film that's very middle of the road. I felt like it could definitely be more. The cast is full of stars (Robert Downey Jr, Robert Duvall, Denis O'Hare, Vera Farmiga, Jeremy Strong) but they're not used to their fullest. It's good, just not great #ReelRank #FilmSky

Promotional picture for the film The Judge. It shows Robert Duvall playing Judge Palmer, who is sitting on the bench in court. Below him, in front of the bench, is Robert Downey Jr, who plays Hank Palmer, who is the judge's son. The title of the film is at the bottom of the picture.

I don’t think the president should be using taxpayer dollars to buy ads for himself. It’s illegal, undemocratic and wrong—stealing from the public and abusing state power to try to tilt an election in his party’s favor—which I think is bad, not good. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

One of the many fucked up things about the “future potential” argument in not holding rapists accountable, is that statistically, rape has one of the highest rates of recidivism of violent crime. Literally no one has a higher statistical likelihood of committing rape than someone who has already.
